My first plane ever was an A600 six years ago in 2017, and I thought it was AWESOME. But...I didn't have anything else to compare to, so I didn't really know if it was just awesome for me, or actually awesome. I was a clumsy and risky pilot, and I crashed a lot...repaired a lot...crashed some more...repaired some more. Before long, I decided it wasn't worth the effort to repair it anymore and I shelved the remaining pieces and parts. After not having flown it in at least 4 years, and having flown quite a few other planes since then, a couple months ago I decided to resurrect the bits and pieces I had into a flying machine once again. Everything stock...no component swapping. I was dumbfounded to find that that little A600, even with tons of cuts and splices and surgical procedures, and with glue holding it together in places you should never glue plane, it flew again just fine. But more importantly, I found that it actually flew better than nearly every other plane I flew over these past 4 years. True, the A600 is ridiculously fragile and doesn't put up with crashes (or even bad landings) very well at all. But what a JOY to fly. I REALLY is excellent. Full authority over all three axes, enough power for what it is, very little reaction of other axes when you're trying to just control in one axis, wonderful for articulated turns, or flat turns, or banking when and how you want. I mean it actually has rudder authority...and lots of it, and it has good roll rate, excellent elevator response. I absolutely love my old beat up resurrected A600! I went looking for an A900 for my dad (who is still trying to get his flying legs under him) because I think it will make an EXCELLENT plane to learn on...except for how fragile the A600 is...and supposedly the A900 is much more durable being made out of EPP foam. But alas...everyone is out of stock, or doesn't even carry the A900 anymore. WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?? I thought that plane would be SO popular if it really was a more-durable version of the A600.
Anyone can help reprogram this plane for me? I have one, but the rudder is stuck to the right, and elevator servo throw is very minimal. How do i reset everything and set controls like factory? Ailerons and throttle seem fine. I only have the stock transmitter that came with it. Thanks!
Says a lot about your brother's skills mate. Ours looked like a litter of pups had hold of it for a week! Completely scrapped now for parts. No more EPS for us. That A900 is the same as the A600 airframe but in EPP, so it will be heavier, more sluggish with the same drive system and probably more likely to stall. The radio is quite a bit different too. The Arrows Pioneer (if we can ever get it out here at a reasonable price) is a better bet for a high winger. But the best EPP sub-250g plane out now is the AtomRC/Eachine Flying Fish. Can't wait for it to come to the Ozwarehouse. 😀
hmm nice but for 131 euros. think ill go for the XK A160-J3 Skylark 3D/6G System 650mm Wingspan EPP RC Aircraft RC Aircraft RTF for the time being .for 76 euros .
